Eleven new species of the diatom genus Gomphonema are described from brown-water habitats in Tasmania, Australia. These species are endemic to individual habitats or suites of systems, and most are known only from Tasmania. Although many of the Tasmanian species are morphologically similar to others from that island,…

Interfacial reaction kinetics between Ag and ceramic‐filled glass (CFG) substrate, containing borosilicate glass, high‐silica glass, and alumina, has been investigated at 850°–925°C in different atmospheres. No chemical reaction at the interface of Ag/CFG is found when firing takes place in N 2 or N 2 + 1% H 2 . Fired…

Rapid uptake of intravenously injected liposomes by the mononuclear phagocyte system has limited their use as drug delivery vehicles. Recently, various long-circulating liposomes have been prepared by incorporating glycolipids or other amphiphilic molecules into the lipid bilayer of conventional liposomes. The purpose…

Piezochromic phenomena are explained by pressure perturbation to the HOMO and/or LUMO energy levels of the related electronic transition. The piezochromism of solid inorganic and organic materials has been investigated by examination of the phase transition phenomena. Specific electronic properties of the solids, acqu…

Abstract A microscopic surface analytical technique is desirable for detailed studies of environmental and geochemical surface processes because most of the relevant solid components from natural sources are heterogeneous and have intricate microstructures. Recent advances in XPS instrumentation have allowed chemical…

The crystallization mechanism of α‐cordierite from a B 2 O 3 ‐ and TiO 2 ‐containing glass submitted to fast heating in the cordierite primary phase field of the CaO–MgO–Al 2 O 3 –SiO 2 quaternary system was investigated. Addition of B 2 O 3 to a SiO 2 ‐rich glass suppressed the formation of μ‐cordierite. This suppres…

Stable and metastable pitting corrosion of Ti was investigated in neutral and acidic halide solutions. In agreement with earlier findings by others, Br− were found to be significantly more aggressive in triggering pitting corrosion of Ti than Cl−. In Br−-containing solutions, the major factors influencing the occurren…

The crotonase homolog, 6-oxo camphor hydrolase (OCH), catalyzes the desymmetrization of bicyclic beta-diketones to optically active keto acids via an enzymatic retro-Claisen reaction, resulting in the cleavage of a carbon-carbon bond. We have previously reported the structure of OCH (Whittingham, J. L., Turkenburg, J.…

A method for thin-film deposition has been studied. The method is based on metal sputtering in a hollow cathode configuration with supply of a reactive gas in the vicinity of the substrate. The working gas and entrained sputtered atoms exit the cathode through an elongated slot. The reactive gas is thereby largely pre…

We propose an input-dependent shape function for the stop model to remove its property of equal vertical chords regardless of dc bias. We compare several identification methods for the stop model and show that the input-dependent shape function improves the ability to represent the stop model effectively. A least-squa…
